I'm getting encoding errors when trying to spin up a clean install of any gitlab version newer than 10.5.8. Oddly, the problem seems to be restricted to Ubuntu 16.04. Everything just works with Ubuntu 14.04. (Versions prior to 10.6 work as expected on Ubuntu 16.04)

puppet 5.5.16
ruby 2.6.0
Ubuntu 16.04.2
version 2.1.0 of the module.

My expectation is that we can create a fresh VM with gitlab installed. But it's failing due to encoding errors when it attempts to run reconfigure.

As noted, this failure only happens with Ubuntu 16.04. 14.04 works as expected.

I can upgrade a 14.04 VM to Ubuntu 16.4 and then upgrade gitlab to a version greater than 10.5. But attempting to do so with a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04 fails.

I've tried using file_line resources to set the environmental variable. But it is still failing. Below you can see a sample of directives I've tried. (all without success).

file_line { "lc_all_env_var":
    ensure  => present,
    line    => 'LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"',
    path    => "/etc/default/locale",
  }

  file_line { "lc_type_env_var":
    ensure  => present,
    line    => 'LC_TYPE="en_US.UTF-8"',
    path    => "/etc/default/locale",
  }


   file_line { "lang_env_var":
     ensure  => present,
     line    => 'LANG="en_US.UTF-8"', #behavior differs from ubuntu 14.04
     path   => "/etc/default/locale",
   }
  
   file_line { "language_env_var":
     ensure  => present,
     line    => 'LANGUAGE="en_US"',
     path   => "/etc/default/locale",
   }

One thing I noticed though is that if I ran echo $LANG in ubuntu 14.04, the result was what I expected: en_US.UTF-8

If I ran the same command in ubuntu 16.04, I got the following:

en_US

I really appreciate it if someone could help point me in the right direction.

Of note, I found the following issue over on the gitlab-ce site. It isn't exactly the same error. But it's curious that it's recent and involves similar encoding issues with gitlab 10.6 on Ubuntu 16.04.
